Since there are only four taxis available on the island, travelers who wish to use one should definitely contact the taxi services by phone and make an appointment.

Since there is a large demand during the summer months, travelers should book in advance their boat tickets. Also, by pre-booking tickets can be bought at a lower price.

The Aegean Sea is often very windy, especially in August due to the seasonal winds (“meltemia”). Therefore, visitors should prefer beaches that offer a natural shelter and have calm waters, like Mikros Mourtias, Megalos Mourtias, and Marpounda at the southern part of the island. 

Alonissos’ nature is wonderful and, especially, the northern part of the island is almost untouched by the human hand. Visitors have the opportunity to get in touch with nature and explore the beauties of this magical island by walking around it either on their own or by participating in organized walking/hiking tours of the island.

Around Alonissos, on the island itself and on other deserted islands around it, there are gorgeous rocky beaches and many of them offer some interesting caves. It would be a pity for any traveler that has visited Alonissos not to explore this amazing morphologic natural treasure. 

Alonissos is a heaven on earth with its crystal clear waters and scuba diving is allowed and organized in some beaches, like Chrysi Milia, Gyalia and Vrysitsa. Those who have explored the Alonissos’ sea bed will definitely remember it for a lifetime!
